Well when something breaks or a bug is caused it all depends on the type of issues. I normally mark them from severetiy between 1-10. 1 being like a typo and 10 being holy crap everything is on fire what did I do wrong?!!?!?

I'll focus more on the high priority bugs first and find that they can take a lot longer, even if its something very simple causing the issue I'll sometimes find that the period of time to find the actual cause is very long. I can't really guess whether or not bugs is going to happen before I start the actual project, however I can take a little guess on whether or not something may or may not be an issue down the line.
